Product Description
Folate 1000 Metafolin® L-5-MTHF
Targeted Support for MTHFR SNPs in the Methylation Pathway
Based on Nutrigenomics
Naturally occurring, universally metabolized form of folate (Metafolin® brand)
Metafolin® is chemically identical to the active folate metabolite, 5-methyl-tetrahydrofolate (L-5-MTHF). This is the predominant, naturally occurring form of folate in food.
This form of folate is directly usable by the body because it bypasses several enzymatic activation steps. Metafolin provides all of the benefits of folic acid regardless of functional or genetic variations.
The L-5-MTHF active form of folate is important for individuals with a MTHFR variation — A1298C and/or C677T. People with MTHFR SNPs may have a reduced ability to activate folic acid to the form that the body can utilize.
Genetic variations affecting activation and metabolism of supplemental folic acid are highly prevalent.
Each capsule of Pure Encapsulations Folate 1000 Metafolin contains 1000 mcg. of folate.
Folate – Essential for Cellular Health
An extensive body of evidence indicates that adequate folate intake may provide significant cardiovascular, cellular and neural protection.
Metafolin L-5- MTHF, can be directly used in a diverse array of essential methylation reactions.
Adequate folate status is critical for nucleic acid synthesis and neurotransmitter synthesis. At the molecular level, the main function of folate is to donate methyl groups in key biochemical reactions occurring in blood cells, neurons, the vasculature and many other tissues.
Manufactured and formulated by Pure Encapsulations, Sudbury, MA.
The PureGenomics™ Program
This unique platform utilizes genetic information from the 23andme or ancestry.com at home tests.
The core PureGenomics protocol targets eight key Single Nucleotide Polymorphisms (SNPs) in the methylation pathway that can be supported with nutrition. In addition, there are protocols for vitamins, detoxification and cellular health.
